Safe Minds, Sound Business: Managing Psychological Safety and Workplace Behaviour
Description
Victoria's psychological safety regulations commenced on 1 December 2025, bringing state-level obligations that align with changes already operating nationally for several years. For many businesses, understanding what this means in practice remains a work in progress.
Join NORTH Link on Wednesday, 22 July 2026, for a focused briefing with Sapphire Parsons, Senior Associate at Macpherson Kelley, as she walks through what business leaders need to know to stay ahead of these obligations.
Sapphire's session, Managing Psychological Safety and Workplace Behaviour, will cover:
Your obligations as a business leader under the new regulations
How to identify, assess, control, and review psychosocial risks and hazards
Practical tips for compliance
Sapphire will also share key themes emerging from Safe Work Australia's Best Practice Review into Model WHS Laws, following the March 2026 Consultation Summary, and what to watch for when the Final Report drops in August 2026.
